Fascinating and involving December 31, 2007
T. R. Alexander (Huntingdon, Cambs, UK)

This second volume of the brilliant Death Note manga is just as engaging and enthralling as the previous volume and sees the conflict between Kira and L gets tougher. In this volume Light Yagami must find a way to rid himself of the FBI surveillance without letting anybody know he is Kira. After the FBI are dealt with, L decides a gesture of faith is needed and he reveals himself to the much reduced NPA squad dealing with the Kira case.
Death Note continues to be brilliantly written, Light's slow decent into megalomania and L's own rather eccentric mannerisms are beautifully realised in both the script and the art. The books plot never ceases to be anything less than engrossing with many a twist along the way. This manga is not for the faint hearted however with many a subsidiary character being bumped off. This series just gets better and better.
Beautiful and as nasty as hell January 9, 2007

The series starts off with a killer premise, and the second volume delivers on it in spadeloads. In this volume Light-kun becomes even more obsessive and perfectly psychopathic, 'cleansing' the world as an executioner with no-one to answer to. Finally we are introduced to the peculiar and enchanting L, the introverted and ageless genius who boasts a few loose screws of his own. They are both willing to do anything to prove that their own brand of justice is the correct one, and with the absence of a narrative moral voice the reader is left to decide on their own who is right.
This one isn't for kids, as nearly the entire story is composed of dialogue, conjecture and exquisite headgames. When action arrives it is heartless; do not get attached to the secondary characters. This is a fine-tuned work and is intended neither for the emotionally squeamish or for the splatter fans, and has no sex or nudity.
In a short sentence, *this is very very good*. Give it a few years, and if DeathNote isn't considered one of the finest bits of craft to come from Japan (or indeed from the human race) then there is no justice and Light-kun should be writing *everyone's* name in his little black book.
